NASA takes letters from kids very seriously because they know that they are the future. In a far more specific sense than you think. All the new designs that are on the board NOW or nearing first prototype stages, kids like young Mr. Jack Davis here and his friends are going to one day become the Commanders, Pilots, Engineers and Mission Specialists that fly them.
Or they could be on the ground crew at mission control, helping guide that mission to its destination and back home again.
Maybe Mr. Jack Davis just might design the next generation of craft that inspires kids his age when he is a grandfather.
The bottom line is that space is big and we need as many brilliant minds as we can get to explore it, whether it's with NASA, JPL or related academic research. If you have kids in your life, directly or tangentially and you find them looking skyward at night... encourage that. You never know how far they will go.
Those feet that muddied the kitchen floor when they were little, just might be the first feet on another celestial body when we make the next big step out there.
